Misty murky day at Normanby

it sure looks cold there but it makes for a lovely photo

This is a very lovely peaceful photo Janey. I love it.

Ohh Janey that looks cold and a bit creepy . LOL

Good pic though .!

It was both Amy....you still toasting your toes??

LOL. Amy, you and I have two opposite impressions of this photo.

We have haven,t we Gilli it does make me shiver though .............maybe I,ve read to many storys about headless horse riders coming out of the mists LOL

Oh yes Janey , my toes are really toasty ,I even kicked my slippers off LOL ..... brilliant :0)

Janey, that is one heck of a photograph. I think it is beautiful and expresses a lot. Mist and fog, make some people uncomfortable To another, something else.

This could be a defining pictoral representation for January.
My representation a month for Ice-olation -- an earth that leans away from the sun, and misses its orientaion.

My partner for a long time, considered those weaving fingers of silences and the stiffness of deciduous limbs, but an encouragement to come back into the cabin and "Put wood in the kitchen stove, bouquets of apples and cloves. Wintergreen, horsetai, rose hips in the tea." Nancy

She had lived in a much wetter part of the Peninsula and had grown up here. Snow, fog and rain made her happy.

Beautiful comment...thank you secateur, like your Nancy....I love all those things..I have been trying to dry slices of apple and clementines for a Xmas garland ...but they're still as soft as butter lol.

That's beautiful Janey... but Cold !!

I did that last year Janey ,I found that the only way I could do it was to lay the slices out on kitchen paper on radiators , they would often get knocked to the floor . I tried some apples slices this year in the airing cupboard but they are still soft ...
I wonder if it would work if we gave them a couple of mins in the microwave first to take out some of the moisture !

Well...I put them in a warm oven with the fan on for about an hour Amy...then thought of the electric .....mine have been on the floor so many times and Chloe keeps picking them up with raised eyebrows..lol...think I'll make a garland for the brown bin :o)

I could put them on top of my nice new hot stove couldn,t I . No better not It might stain ........LOL

Ooh think it might so better not!!

I think the microwave might work Amy. If you put it on really low power. It's worth a try.

I,ve been experimenting today Gilli , first of all on a high heat which left burn marks on them , due to the sugar content I think .. , I have now done them on a lower heat and left them half dry to dry off in a warm place , I will check them tomorrow ........:0)

Try a really low oven for your still soft apple slices...they will dry well with temps you might use for merigues...150-200 F. put them on pastry paper and watch them...lol. I've dried herbs in the micro...but it's a bit smelly and at times chancy! They go from dry to tinder in a milisecond!
I love misty autumn pics! this is great, Janey. since they seem to be clutching their dead leaves...I would imagine they are oaks? Wonderful pic!

Thanks Lori......I think they probably are oaks.....or could be beech...pleased you like it.
